The Contractor's quality assurance organization shall inspect and test materials provided by suppliers for conformance to specification requirements. Materials that have been inspected, tested, and approved shall be identified as acceptable to the point of use in the manufacturing or assembly processes. Controls shall be established to prevent inadvertent use of nonconforming materials. 3.1.5.3 PURCHASING DATA The Contractor shall verify that all applicable specification requirements are properly included or referenced in purchase orders of articles to be used on transit buses. 3.1.6 MANUFACTURING CONTROL 3.1.6.1 CONTROLLED CONDITIONS The Contractor shall ensure that all basic production operations, as well as all other processing and fabricating, are performed under controlled conditions. Establishment of these controlled conditions shall be based on the documented work instructions, adequate production equipment, and special working environments if necessary. 3.1.6.2 COMPLETED ITEMS A system for final inspection and test of completed transit buses shall be provided by the quality assurance organization. It shall measure the overall quality of each completed bus. 3.1.6.3 NONCONFORMING MATERIALS The quality assurance organization shall monitor the Contractor's system for controlling nonconforming materials. The system shall include procedures for identification, segregation, and disposition. 3.1.6.4 STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES Statistical analysis, tests, and other quality control procedures may be used when appropriate in the quality assurance processes. 3.1.6.5 INSPECTION STATUS Quality Assurance Provisions 100 10/18/07
Standard Bus Procurement Guidelines A system shall be maintained by the quality assurance organization for identifying the inspection status of components and completed transit buses. Identification may include cards, tags, or other normal quality control devices. 3.1.7 INSPECTION SYSTEM 3.1.7.1 INSPECTION SYSTEM SCOPE The quality assurance organization shall establish, maintain, and periodically audit a fullydocumented inspection system. The system shall prescribe inspection and test of materials, work in process, and completed articles. As a minimum, it shall include the following controls. 3.1.7.2 INSPECTION PERSONNEL Sufficient trained inspectors shall be used to ensure that all materials, components, and assemblies are inspected for conformance with the qualified bus design. 3.1.7.3 INSPECTION RECORDS Acceptance, rework, or rejection identification shall be attached to inspected articles. Articles that have been accepted as a result of approved materials review actions shall be identified. Articles that have been reworked to specified drawing configurations shall not require special identification. Articles rejected as unsuitable or scrap shall be plainly marked and controlled to prevent installation on the bus. Articles that become obsolete as a result of engineering changes or other actions shall be controlled to prevent unauthorized assembly or installation. Unusable articles shall be isolated and then scrapped. Discrepancies noted by the Contractor or resident inspectors during assembly shall be entered by the inspection personnel on a record that accompanies the major component, subassembly, assembly, or bus from start of assembly through final inspection. Actions shall be taken to correct discrepancies or deficiencies in the manufacturing processes, procedures, or other conditions that cause articles to be in nonconformity with the requirements of the contract specifications. The inspection personnel shall verify the corrective actions and mark the discrepancy record. If discrepancies cannot be corrected by replacing the nonconforming materials, the Procuring Agency shall approve the modification, repair, or method of correction to the extent that the contract specifications are affected. 3.1.7.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE AUDITS The quality assurance organization shall establish and maintain a quality control audit program. Records of this program shall be subject to review by the Procuring Agency. Quality Assurance Provisions 101 10/18/07
